Sports played a major role in Mexican public education programs between 1920 and 1940. This chapter discusses photographic images of Mexican campesinos and the implementation of sports as social profilaxis. The post.revolutionary regimes urged Mexican peasants to "drop their arms and take up balls", that is basketballs and footballs, and sports were deployed for their biopolitical potential.

From the Hardwood to the Gridiron to the Dorm: Influences on Attendance to Women’s Collegiate Basket...

February 2011 · International Journal of Sport Finance

This paper provides an empirical analysis of attendance to Division I women’s collegiate basketball programs from 2000-2009.

We further ... [Show full abstract] investigate whether college football is a complement, a substitute, or an independent of women’s basketball on campus. Investigating complementarity is of practical importance as schools continue to initiate or discontinue football programs. The impact of football on the other sports on campus should be considered in the net benefits of such decisions. The evidence suggests that among the very largest and very smallest schools, football and women’s basketball seem to be complements. For medium-sized schools, on the other hand, football and women’s basketball appear to be independent.
